guy around here (and i have no pics) has a supper clean blazer on 39 inch boggers...ive seen it driving around and never really got a shot to look at it to today and i thought he had 52s in the front but they looked longer...so i got to takking to him and he put super duty springs up front (used the offset pin to add wheelbase....then he was running push pull...but he hade this crazy bracket to come off the frame and to the p/s box....i think he is a pro fabricator cause it looked like great work....it was diffrent next time i see the truck i will try to get some pics...of and for the sterring shaft he used 3 u joints....
 
why would he need 3 u-joints for the steering shaft?

Super Duty springs are like stock K5 springs, flat and probably flex well. Lift is likely all in the brackets. Which isn't something I care for. But could be cool.

it is all brakets and the reason he needed the 3 u joints is cause he dropped the steering box like 6 inches and need that to be able to steer...
 
But has he flexed it? Usually push/pull steering and good flex can't happen at the same time.
